Log Levels (Message Categories)
For identification and filtering purposes, events logged by all CMS-supported
services are classified into various categories. These are listed in Table 23-3. Each
category represents messages that are of the same or a similar nature or that belong
to a specific functional area. A particular log, for example the error log, can record
entries that fall under one or more of these categories.
In the CMS configuration, each message category corresponds to a specific log
level. Log levels are represented by numbers (digits) 1 to 6, each digit indicating
the level of logging to be performed by the server—that is, how detailed the
logging should be.
•
A higher priority level (a larger digit) means less detail because only events of
high priority are logged.
•
A lower priority level (a smaller digit) means greater detail because more kinds
of events are recorded in the log file.
Request Queue
Specifies logged events related to the request queue activity of this server.
User and Group
Specifies logged events related to users and groups managed by this server.
